Well, that was weird! Google Chrome just gave me a malware warning for DU and not to open a post!

It was scary, the whole page was bright red!
So, I closed the tab and reopened DU 'Latest Threads' on another tab. No problems. Anybody else ever have this happen?

1. Yes

With Du and some other legit sites. Weird. I just reload and it's fine. Don't know why it happens, though.

3. It scared the hell out of me. Reassuring that it seems to be just a fluke thing.

My first thought was well, DU has been hacked again! My heart skipped a beat!
DU, needing this site now more than ever!
Hopefully it's just some Chrome hiccup.

2. Yes. I posted about it the other day.

When I visited the same page incognito (not signed in, no cookies), I didn't get the warning. Not sure what's going on.

4. It is more than likely flagging advertisers

it is likely detecting suspicious adds.

5. If I was a betting man

I would bet it is flagging malicious advertising. Many sites get adds delivered by less than stringent ad companies that often let ads packed with malware through. My bet is chrome detected one of those adds and blocked the site.

6. Could it also be a user adding malicious code to his/her posts?

?

7. Yup that could do it as well.

12. I don't see any advertising since I'm a star member.

Does that matter, I wonder?

8. To an individual *post* - not to the DU website, correct?

[PearliePoo2]

9. Yes, that's correct. Wish I could recall what post I clicked on

I sort of panicked and immediately closed the tab. Then held my breath to open up DU Latest Threads on a new tab.

10. I got it too, just now

It was on a couple of posts. Did anyone contact administration ?

[PearliePoo2]

11. Uh, oh. What's going on, I wonder? Were you also using 'Chrome'?

This has NEVER happened to me before and I've been here since 2004.

13. Some content on DU

Fails chromes reputation filtering. I get why chrome is doing it, it's just damn near impossible to go anywhere on the web that safely meets their criteria. So they're either going to scare the shit out of people and cause them to freak out about surfing the web, or people will just start ignoring all the warnings and end up getting malware.

14. Being hacked again, I bet. Bannon in action.
